Brother can you spare a gasket...

Submitted by Jim_GS on June 8, 2014 - 6:13pm

I am preparing to retro-bright one of my old IIC's that was pretty yellow. I have it completely disassembled but ran into one snag. The upper rubber keyboard gasket was so dry and brittle it was just fragments of crumbly rubber. Any chance of finding that part anywhere for sale...came up empty on an Ebay search? If not I figure I could make my own using the lower gasket as a template. The lower keyboard gasket was still in good shape....surprised it wasn't in the same shape as the other.

Submitted by dvador on June 7, 2014 - 4:01pm

In the past, in france there was a system in france

composed of:

a kind of special language card with the mem/dos system in eprom
a hard disk controller for cynthia D140 hard disks
a cynthia d140 hard disk

there was also a multiuser version with:

a network board in the station
a network board in the server (the server was named mem/16 (up to 16 stations)

the software exists (floppy disks)
but is there any refernce to the content of eproms / schématics of the board

I'm looking for the mem/dos board
or at least the eprom content + schematics to rebuild one

Nice Artworks on Manuals

Submitted by tkh on June 3, 2014 - 4:57am

I would like to give a little comment on how creative people back in the days.
Specifically I am using artworks in the books on Apple II for example.

Take for example Randy Hyde's Assembly Language book.
How inspiring it is to have trippy pictures of computer and its inside acting as if they're people.

Also the book Beneath Apple ProDOS with Isaac Newton and falling *DISK ][* instead of Apple (I LMAOed on this one)
- I thank Mr. SpeedyG for this one...

Any reason to keep Hayes Micromodem card?

Submitted by dramsey on June 2, 2014 - 11:43pm

In the last year I've managed to acquire a Micromodem card or two.

I really can't think of a more useless piece of retro-tech. All the same, I'm reluctant to simply toss them in the trash without checking here first. Is there any reason at all to keep these?

Question on ProDOS SYS Files

Submitted by tkh on May 30, 2014 - 4:08am

I have a simple question:
How do you read ProDOS SYS files and possibly edit it?
I know a command to run it, but not to actually view the content.

Also, how do you create a bootable disk of your own program?

My plan is to 'dissect' a program (I got AppleWriter in mind) and learn it.

Apple IIGS PSUs

Submitted by protek on May 30, 2014 - 2:02am

Is there a version of the Apple IIGS PSU that has a switch for input voltage to select between 110 and 220 volts? To be more specific, has this variation been sold in the US market?
